You are certainly not the only one that always think everything we feel is sinister. Always thinking the worst.

I wish us the best through this...

Yes!! Absolutely. Any little pain or lump and I go to pieces. I do that with my kids too. Right now, my DD has a sore armpit and I’ve been trying to push all the bad stuff out of my mind. She’s only 11! Anyway, someone told me this once and it helps when I think on it... “of the few people you hear about or know of who have something really wrong with them, there’s a million more walking around who don’t”. It makes sense. Here’s wishing you happy thoughts!!
